It does sound like a codec issue, but it could be an issue with the DirectShow filters, etc. Unfortunately, I don't have a Win7 box yet myself (will probably upgrade my laptop when I get around to it) so I can't check on this myself. TiVo Desktop 2.8 is definitely compatible with Win7, including the codecs in Plus. I'd try removing the software and using the TiVo Desktop Cleaner to *really* remove any signs of it - then reinstall: http://support.tivo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/192/
If that still doesn't work, check out TiVoCommunity.com and search for past threads - I poked around quickly and see some existing threads from other users who had issues. But it does work for most users. On Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 10:33, Michael <[email protected]> wrote: > > I recently upgraded from Windows Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 Ultimate.
